NCL's New Cruise Ship E P I C W/Unique 17 Degree Ice Bar

NCL's Ice Bar - The ultimate chill.

I don't know about anyone else but I have never seen a bar theme on the seas like this before. This unparalleled logic defying bar has a certain buzz about it throughout the entire cruise industry. NCL has truly changed the game with it's new nightlife entertainment design! Now this truly is as cool as it gets. Inspired by the original ice hotels in Scandinavia, The Ice Bar is one of only 14 in the world and the only true ice bar at sea. Enter a glistening, frozen, fantasyland where the bar, the walls, the tables, the stools, even the life-size sculptures are made out of ice. Let us help you slip into a faux fur coat to keep you warm in the chilly 17 degrees. Ordering a round of shots to celebrate the cold occasion might help out too!
